An illustrated Megillah iPhone app designed by haredi artist Yoel Waxsberger was rejected for being too violent. The problematic drawings are one of Haman's ten sons hanging from a tree, and another of spear-wielding Jews fighting Persians. The artist's Malchut Waxberger Gallery re-submitted the app, omitting the two offending frames. The app, which can be bought here for $0.99, includes the entire text of Megillat Esther, as well as three noisemaking options when the name "Haman" is pressed.

LIVING in Eretz Israel is the equivalent of all the Mitzvot of the Torah (Sifri, Parashat Re'eh, TOSEFTA, AVODA ZARA 5:2)

Fortunate is he who merits in his life to FIX HIS RESIDENCE in Eretz HaKodesh (Zohar Hakadosh Iii 72b) and remove from your heart this false belief that a man has more blessings outside the land (Alshich Hakadosh, Ki Tavo 28:6)
